PubChem 2D chemical structure for CAS 27323-41-7

CAS 27323-41-7PubChem CID 33782

dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, triethanolamine salt

This material contains triethanolamine dodecylbenzenesulfonate, a white- colored, waxy solid dissolved in a liquid carrier. The primary hazard of this material is its potential threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since it is a liquid it can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. — CAMEO Chemicals
